[4:18] [snorts]
[4:27] » Okay, there's 6:00. I call the
[4:32] March the 19th, 2026 meeting of the Owen County Commissioners to order. Uh first
[4:37] order of business, opening prayer. Would someone like to do the opening prayer?
[4:42] Dave, you want to hit that?
[4:46] Father, we thank you tonight, Lord, for all your blessings and all your
[4:49] helpfulness. Father, we ask that you would bless this county, bless the
[4:53] people in this county, and guide us in the right direction for the people in
[4:56] this county. Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen.
[5:00] And now for the pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
[5:05] United States of America, >> [groaning]
[5:07] » and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with
[5:13] liberty and justice for all. Thank you.
[5:20] Okay. Um for the public, if you haven't already
[5:23] done so, please do sign in over at the table.
[5:27] And then, uh Sheila, roll call. Sam
[5:31] Allison, Ronnie Warner, Here.
[5:34] Davis, Here. Okay.
[5:41] Approval of minutes. So, we have before us the minutes for the March the 5th,
[5:45] 2026 meeting. Um just need a
[5:50] motion. Motion to approve minutes.
[5:53] » And I will second that. All in favor? Aye. Aye.
[5:58] Um >> [cough]
[6:01] » claims.
[6:04] This month's claims, uh payroll, $323,767.27.
[6:14] Regular claims, $234,351.17.
[6:20] Out-of-cycle claims, which would be your utilities and credit cards and our
[6:24] Toshiba contract, is $54,742.20.
[6:30] For a grand total of $612,860.64.
[6:36] That's our claims.
[6:41] Move to approve claims. And I will second that. All in favor? Aye. Aye.
[6:48] All right.
[6:57] L Financial Monthly Funds Report. Funds report in front of you
[7:03] is varied. I went ahead and took it through the end of the month. We
[7:06] received some things in. General fund is staying where it's 6,000,001.
[7:12] Uh the others again pretty comparable to what we're doing. The highway is
[7:16] bringing in the money between the 76-73. LIT is coming in in $107,000
[7:23] a month. Um we are going to need to relook at the
[7:27] LIT and where we're at in balances. And currently, there's 2.6 million in there.
[7:32] However, by the time you take this year's $855,000
[7:37] budget plus you added the 600,000 for the highway, we know we're going to have
[7:41] to come back for additional appropriation for the radio project at
[7:45] the council meeting coming up. So, we're going to have to keep an eye on that
[7:49] cash balance and moving forward. And if you can only count on $107,000 a month
[7:54] coming in, you might have to to break things down in payments. But,
[8:00] the money will still be bringing revenue in. It's just might have to be spread
[8:04] out.
[8:07] All righty. Old business. Um Ellington Park. I just
[8:12] spoke with Tony a little bit. I'm actually going to let Tony speak on
[8:16] Ellington Park because he knows where we're at in the process of
[8:20] separating the HOA and and that road. So, go ahead, Tony. Sure.
[8:25] Uh I've got somebody at my office who is looking at it and has started the
[8:27] process of getting that done. I need some additional information from
[8:31] the county, and I've talked to folks just today, and we're in the process of
[8:36] getting that. Once we get that, we should be able to turn the documents
[8:39] around and hopefully get them out. And I need to know from the subdivision, you
[8:44] know, we got to get unanimous, 100% support to do it.
[8:48] Uh so, that'll be the next step. So, are We're moving it along.
[8:52] Do they need to go ahead and start working on the 100% participation? It
[8:56] wouldn't hurt at least to talk to people and make sure that that support is out
[8:59] there. I'd hate to do this work and then it turns out that somebody doesn't want
[9:02] to do it. >> today?
[9:04] No. Okay. I will call her after the meeting cuz she called me earlier and
[9:09] let her know that they need to go ahead and get working on the 100%
[9:11] participation. >> Yeah, I I just want to make sure the
[9:13] support is there before we start doing the work. Right. Okay. Good enough.
[9:19] All right. Um
[9:23] Dial project review. I think the only thing we have on that is
[9:27] Did you bring something with you, Mr. Keith?
[9:29] Okay. All this is is just some documents, an
[9:34] information packet for all of you to look at.
[9:36] » Turn that on, Tilden, and then state your name so so that everybody at home
[9:41] can hear.
[9:44] I think that's on, isn't it? It's red. Uh right there. This one? Yeah. Oh,
[9:50] there we go. My name is Tilden Keith with Keith
[9:53] Realty, and I was just bringing the information packets in regards to the
[9:57] the ground that we was talking about earlier.
[10:00] Everything's in here, but it's basically just information for you guys to take,
[10:04] digest, look over as much as you want to. My contact information's on the
[10:09] envelope. Any questions that that arise, I can answer any questions as far as
[10:13] that goes. That's all it was, just bring you guys information. All right. Okay.

[13:39] Dave, and I'd also like to waive the fee Thank you so much.

[14:15] taken care of before we get to that point. But, you know, I really

[25:46] where you get a couple of people. Uh okay. We'll uh
[25:50] We'll get that one on that meeting where we we're talking just about highway
[25:52] department. Anybody else?
[25:57] Department heads? Before we go to public comment, I do
[26:01] want to say for our veterans out there and the VSOs,
[26:05] we do have a van coming your way. Uh we purchased a brand new van.
[26:10] Uh >> [snorts]
[26:11] » it should be here in a couple weeks, what the gentleman told me.
[26:15] So, it'll be nice. When we figure out when it's going to be here, we'll try to
[26:18] let everybody know and see if we can get some veterans out there to
[26:23] go meet with the van and meet with us and so on. Uh Sheila had a good idea,
[26:27] too, and and I I think it's a really good idea, but when we go to brand the
[26:32] to put Owen Owen County Veterans on it. Um
[26:37] We need to get with the different branches of of the veterans here in
[26:40] town. Uh you know, the different Army, Navy
[26:45] But, if we could open that up maybe and make a contest out of it and have um
[26:49] some local students maybe give make proposals of here's
[26:54] what, you know, the uh
[26:58] graphic could look like, something like that.
[27:01] Or the veterans themselves.
[27:04] Right.
[27:10] Yeah.
[27:12] I'd say it's the veterans' vehicle. Let the veterans do it.
[27:16] What do you think?
[27:20] I said, "Let's let the veterans do it. It's going to be their van."
[27:25] Make Roger go out there and paint it with a paintbrush.
[27:27] » [laughter] >> We'll give you We'll give you some
[27:29] markers and some crayons.
[27:34] How's your How's your freehand drawing, Roger? Is it pretty good?
[27:41] It's honor guard's guard, everybody, handicap. Take you to Indian. It It's a
[27:46] very nice van. From the drawings that I seen and everything and the VSO, he laid
[27:51] it out.
[27:54] You'll have earned
[27:59] Right.
[28:07] » [laughter]
[28:20] » Well, you you got a new one coming. Brand new Couple weeks.
[28:24] And the the numbers that you were talking about for people that need to be
[28:28] in it was taken into account when we went to get this one, so you should be
[28:31] covered.
[28:37] Well, I think I think it's five seats in that now, if I remember correctly. It
[28:41] had one ramp in the back to get in and out with a wheelchair and it's got the
[28:45] lockdowns and the seats can actually be removed from the floor
[28:50] then you know, if you need more room, so
[28:59] But, we we appreciate any help we get. You're welcome.
[29:04] Okay. Have I missed any agenda items
[29:09] that you know of other than public comment? So, public comment.
[29:13] Yes, sir. My name is John McKnight and I was here
[29:17] last fall about Barley Road
[29:20] out there. About what road? Barley Road Barley Road
[29:24] Okay. How terrible the whole road is and
[29:28] which Chad and his guys did fill some of the
[29:32] holes and roll it, but you drive down that road and it's
[29:37] absolutely falling apart. I mean, it's almost not even a road in
[29:42] places anymore. And also at that same meeting last fall,
[29:48] they were going to replace the Byerly Road sign
[29:51] at 246 and Patrick's Road,
[29:55] which has never been been put up. And then that
[29:59] drain you were going to talk to the state
[30:02] about fixing that drain. >> I turned that over to the INDOT and I
[30:06] haven't heard anything back from them. The Byerly Road sign, I still don't have
[30:10] the sign. I don't know We ordered signs last week.
[30:16] I think I ordered some. I haven't gotten So, the Byerly Road sign's on its way?
[30:21] Yes, it's just waiting on And INDOT's you've already turned
[30:26] the ditch drainage and culvert pipe at 246 and Byerly Road is an INDOT pipe.
[30:31] Okay. I can try to make contact with them again tomorrow, but
[30:36] sometimes you don't hear anything back from them.
[30:40] Okay. So, I heard that
[30:42] the county got money from the state again for doing roads.
[30:46] For CCMG roads, yes. So, is Byerly Road going to be on that?
[30:53] No, it The ones we read off tonight are the ones that are on that on that.
[30:58] Um So, is there a plan to keep fixing holes
[31:01] on Byerly Road or I mean, this is pathetic.
[31:05] Absolutely pathetic. If you watch an ambulance go down through there
[31:09] and you wonder how the person on the other hand that's supposed to get picked
[31:13] up is going to make it.
[31:17] We'll get them out there with the with the patcher
[31:20] fill them up.
[31:25] I ain't been out on it in a while. It's rough. Is it?
[31:32] So, we'll see if we can get some patching done out there and try to
[31:34] smooth it out as much as we can. We'd like to fix them all, but
[31:37] » Oh, I know. I know. Yeah. I know, believe me.
[31:40] » [laughter] >> But I just wanted to commission I don't
[31:44] know if any of you has been down Byerly Road all the way down there.
[31:47] » Oh, he has cuz it's out in his district. >> it's it's a dirt field in places.
[31:53] We have a lot of roads like it. There's a lot of people that's moved in
[31:59] down that road. There's a lot of traffic on that road anymore.
[32:05] We'll get out there and take a peek at it.
[32:09] Any other public comment? Yes, sir. Yeah,
[32:11] my name is Matt Anderson. You and I talked on the phone Yes.
[32:17] You've got bigger issues than my issue, but
[32:20] nonetheless, quality of life issue here regarding ordinances for dogs. Yes.
[32:25] » And noise. I understand you're you're hoping to go through and revamp all
[32:29] that. Mhm. I just really encourage you to do so.
[32:33] Um I'm just facing a dog issue. Dogs
[32:36] roaming half mile from home. The owners intentionally let them out
[32:41] regardless of what the sheriff tells them to do. Court appearances.
[32:45] No uh fines or anything, but just continue to be a nuisance.
[32:51] Um the the noise issues with horns,
[32:55] spinning tires, uh Lester Chapel, Rocky Hill Road, the
[32:59] tire marks all of them down there. They're just racing up down tearing up
[33:04] the road. Have you notified the sheriff on that? The sheriff has been out there
[33:08] twice to talk to them in the last year. Okay. And they still do it.
[33:12] Um But because of two weeks ago regarding
[33:16] the dogs, and supposedly there's a a um
[33:20] electronic fence going in, an invisible fence.
[33:24] We will see. But I just encourage you to strengthen
[33:27] the ordinances for the area. This is not only
[33:31] We cannot be the only ones who complained about dogs in the last 30
[33:35] years. Um But there's just a problem family where
[33:39] they don't care. So, there used to be something in place
[33:43] to make them care. Right. And uh when I talked to you, I I
[33:48] thought the leash law was more stringent than it actually is. It's it's specific
[33:53] to parks, which was disheartening, but um
[33:58] and I'm told there's something else we've yet to find it anywhere.
[34:03] Uh and if we can't find it, it doesn't exist. So,
[34:06] um There is a state ordinance um but I don't know if I can use it
[34:10] effectively here or >> I mean, it would take it would take
[34:13] precedence over uh our local one
[34:16] » [snorts] >> if it was in conflict with each other.
[34:18] State would would hold you know hold serve, I guess. Hold serve or
[34:23] interpret. Okay. Thank you. Um and I have talked to you and I'm not
[34:27] done with it yet. I mean, if we we're going through the ordinances now
[34:32] and that'll be another section that we can work on. Um there's there was a
[34:36] really good piece on that very subject in the in the UDO that got voted down.
[34:42] So, we will we'll try to beef it up, but
[34:46] it's it's a slow process. It is. So, and other public comments, I think Jason
[34:52] » is Jason Ball. I am apologize if you guys table is not in
[34:56] here in my area like it used to be. But I was under the understanding you
[35:00] guys were going to have a list of county roads that you were
[35:10] going to open up for bids for ditch work and meeting next
[35:13] week, but >> Next week? Yeah. Yeah. We're having
[35:15] that's why we're having a special meeting and we're going to take care of
[35:18] that. Is the public is that meeting for you or Uh it's a meeting for us and the
[35:22] highway department. >> Okay.
[35:24] So, we're going to get our heads together and figure out what we have to
[35:27] do and how much money we can afford. >> I'm sorry. I said we're we're going to
[35:31] get our heads together, figure out how much money we have, what roads we can
[35:34] and can't do, and and we're going to look at it, but we are going to start
[35:37] tackling some roads. So,
[35:40] » I have to learn that. I mean, we've I've got my list. I know
[35:44] you got your list and Sam will have his list. And then
[35:48] once we look at it, we'll get bids on it, and then of course, the bids are
[35:52] going to push around what we can and can't do based on the amount of funding
[35:56] that we have to do it. So, um >> [clears throat]
[35:59] » we had hoped to we had hoped to deal with that earlier. Um
[36:04] But anyway, we're going to do it next week. Okay. Do I need to go
[36:07] Do I need to contact with you like bid packets and Um
[36:12] I would like to think we would have a standard packet that we can hand out to
[36:16] whoever wants to bid on it. And someone sent put out a really good local
[36:20] contractor that does that kind of work. You were on the list.
[36:23] Um on Facebook and that that's a and
[36:27] everybody was local. So, maybe that's the list we need to work off of and we
[36:31] can send these things out. It's really >> want to stay local. Get in contact with
[36:34] me at the highway department after we have the list and I get the bid packet
[36:38] drawn up. I'll make sure you get that. Okay. I don't really monitor these
[36:41] meetings, so I don't really know what's going Right. I just want to get my name
[36:43] out there right now and make sure you Well, no. We we want to get as many bids
[36:47] as we can because that that will drive the price down just from
[36:51] you know Of course. the bid process. Plus, the more we can save, the more we
[36:55] can do. That's right. Um but yeah, we're going to we're going to
[36:59] we're going to do that next week. Any other public comments?
[37:05] All right. Seeing none, auditor? Anything?
[37:10] Mr. Attorney, do you have anything? Uh no, there's a couple of things going
[37:15] on, but not not stuff for our meeting.
[37:18] Okay. Commissioner Thomas, Dave, you got
[37:21] anything? I have none.
[37:24] And I have nothing to add.
[37:27] I would entertain a motion to adjourn. I'll second. All right. We are
[37:31] adjourned. Thank you very much for coming, folks.
